All in urban explorer

Take a real-life lesson in WA history with a free guided walking tour at The York Festival.

WA’s oldest inland town kicks off its annual community celebration of culture and arts on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September at the 2017 York Festival.  Thousands will visit York as the town comes alive across the weekend with music, art, food, performance, workshops, exhibitions and free walking tours that highlight the cultural heritage of York.

Midland Grain Silo

Every now and then, you’ll find somewhere that captures you. One of my spots is the Midland Grain Silo. What was a huge symbol of agricultural history of Midland, is now a hotspot for street art.

The Home that Meth Destroyed

This house did hold some treasures for us. In the front rooms we noticed elaborate tales scribbled on the walls. They documented a relationship falling apart, the existence of drug habits, and the struggle of the writer or writers to comprehend what they were confronted with.

Where's My Meal?

I do my fair share of eating out. I frequent some of the most delicious new establishments around town.
I am rarely disappointed, and for that I am thankful. It is unfortunate that a gap is arising. Do we have too many tapas bars?

The Castle-Austin

The Austin-tatiously named Castle in Austin is famous for its unique street art adorned walls of concrete. Situated below what does indeed appear to be a modern castle, there is the unfinished structure of some building or other that for reasons unknown has been left as a canvas for those who use the spray can as their artistic instrument.

Caribbean Curiosity

Walking down one of Key West's major historical streets I spy an old abandoned shack. Naturally the place piqued my interest. It's not everyday you get to explore the remnants of a Caribbean construction.

Urban Mansion

​After venturing about various North Perth haunts, and a railway museum (it was a busy night, interrupted only by ABC’s The Elegant Gentlemens’s Guide To Knife Fighting), we phoned a friend looking for something more.
